Full details

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for children?
This tank top is made from a blend of 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk. The silk component significantly softens the merino wool, making it exceptionally gentle and non-itchy, even for sensitive skin.
Can this be worn as an everyday t-shirt?
While it's designed as a base layer, its attractive geometric pattern and lace details mean it can be worn as a light t-shirt, especially in warmer weather or indoors when a simple, soft top is desired.
How does the blend of wool and silk benefit my child?
The blend combines merino wool's natural thermoregulation and breathability with silk's softness and smooth feel. This creates a fabric that keeps children comfortable in varying temperatures, feels luxuriously soft against the skin, and is highly durable.
Is this garment suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
Yes, the natural, breathable, and soft properties of the merino wool and silk blend are known to be gentle and soothing for sensitive or eczema-prone skin. It helps regulate temperature and moisture, which are crucial for skin comfort.
How often should I wash this tank top?
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties. Often, airing out the garment between wears is sufficient. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions, to preserve the fibers and reduce environmental impact.
What does 'pointelle lace pattern' mean?
Pointelle refers to a knitting technique that creates a delicate, openwork pattern, often resembling lace. In this tank top, it adds a subtle decorative detail to the fabric.
Can I use a regular washing machine for this item?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but it must be set to a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels slightly stiff after washing.
This can be a natural characteristic of merino wool. Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry. A gentle iron on a low setting while slightly damp can help restore softness.
Shrinking after washing.
Ensure you used the correct wool/delicate cycle at 30°C or below and did not tumble dry. Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Lay flat to dry.
Loss of elasticity.
This is often due to excessive heat or harsh detergents. Always use gentle, wool-specific products and avoid high temperatures during washing and drying. Lay flat to dry, do not wring.
Pilling on the fabric.
Some pilling is normal with natural fibers like merino wool and silk, especially with initial wear. It can be gently removed with a fabric shaver. Avoid excessive friction during washing and drying.
